        Life is one big party when you're still young

        Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run

        Though you never get the lovin' that you needed
        Could have left, but I called and you heeded
        Takin' a beatin', mission completed
        Mama said that I and I dissed the program
        Not the type to mess around with her emotion
        But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
        Been together so long and this could never be wrong
        Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
        Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
        Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
        Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
        Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I'm your savior
        (You must be sent from up above)
        And you appear to me so tender, say girl I surrender
        (Thanks for giving me your love)
        Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you are my savior
        (You must be sent from up above)
        And you appear to me so tender, well, girl I surrender
        (Said thanks for giving me your love)
        Now life is one big party when you're still young
        And who's gonna have your back when it's all done
        It's all good when you're little, you have pure fun
        Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run
        Looking back Shorty always mention
        Said me not giving her much attention
        She was there through my incarceration
        I wanna show the nation my appreciation
        Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
        Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
        Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel

Shaggy - Hot Shot964509.jpg

        Saggy是'Ruff Entry Crew' 的成员之一.他上的是纽约布鲁克林区的伊拉兹马斯霍尔高中(Erasmus Hall High, Brooklyn New York).他赢得了去 Pratt Institue 学习Art & Design的奖学金.在美海军服役四年.曾经是波斯湾战争的一名老兵.
        自Bob Marley突破界线将雷鬼乐带入流行市场，连带吹起的雷鬼穿着与打扮，至今仍受到各年龄层喜爱，表现出前卫新潮的无限创意！Shaggy的崛起，可说是90年代以来，振兴与传承雷鬼乐最重要的佼佼者，他所缔造出的成绩是同领域歌手们所望尘莫及的！
        单从名字上来看，Shaggy与Reggae似乎就有着天然的联系,而在牙买加度过的童年时代更能证明他正宗的Reggae血统。18岁他跟着母亲搬进纽约布鲁克林区，同样也开启了音乐追寻之梦。Shaggy音乐生涯第一次突破，是在发行接连登上纽约雷鬼排行榜冠军的"Mampie"及"Big Up"两首单曲；1988年加入美国海军战队，打过波湾战争的他，保住一条小命回来，决定在音乐旅程上好好发挥。
        1993年首张专辑『Pure Pleasure』摇摆缔造"Oh Carolina"多国冠军单曲，成为第一位在废除种族隔离政策后的南非公开演出者。接着《Boombastic》的发行为Shaggy成功地笼络了大批的美国受众。
        这张专辑在美国的销量达到了白金，在美国之外也售出了逾100万张，并为他赢来了1996年格莱美"最佳Reggae专辑"奖。《Boombastic》经白金认证的标题曲狂扫公告牌Reggae、R&B和Rap排行榜，接连荣登榜首的宝座，并成为公告牌100热门单曲排行榜里的销量老大和热门第三。
        Shaggy这张专辑在欧洲取得的成功比在美国有过之无不及，它几乎是所有欧洲国家流行榜的榜首。除了轰动世界的大热门"Boombastic"以外，这张专辑还包括了"Summertime"的最新现场版，以及Ken Boothe经典"The Train Is Coming"的优秀翻版--出现在动作片"Money Train"中。
        1996年9月，在完成他的95/96全球巡演不久之后，Shaggy回到了录音棚开始灌录他的新专辑《Midnite Lover》。先后在牙买加的Kingston和纽约进行录制的《Midnite Lover》里Shaggy在发音和选用乐器上有了新的突破。
        这张专辑的第一制作人是Robert Livingston，参与录制的包括Sly & Robbie、Bulby & Fatta、创作人/制作人Dave Kelly、混音高人Sting International等多位Reggae界大腕。
        2000年推出大碟《Hotshot》，Shaggy才算是攀上事业的高峰。大碟中的歌曲"It Wasn't Me"、"Angel"在英国、欧洲、南非、澳纽等地均成为流行榜No.1。
        Shaggy更因此而夺得Billboard Music Awards"全年最佳男歌手"及"全年最佳唱片男歌手"两项大奖。且在今年的Brit Awards颁奖礼上取得"最佳国际男歌手"奖，以及获得世界音乐大奖"最畅销男歌手"、"最畅销R&B男歌手"、"最畅销流行歌手"及"最畅销美国歌手"等四项大奖。
